Hughie's Portrait Story
Today I'm talking portraits & stories, looking at this commission I did of lovely Hughie.
Today I'm talking portraits & stories, looking at this commission I did of the lovely Hughie 😊
There were so many special ideas that my chat with his parents brought up. It was a real joy to play with the different ways to incorporate them into the painting, creating something rich in personal meaning for Hughie & his family.
My commission service is all about getting to the heart of personal stories and finding imaginative ways to bring them to life in a painting.

Hughie's portrait will also be one of several artworks I will be showcasing this June as part of a new 'story' themed exhibition I am launching at Putney library - all part of the @wandsworthartsfringe festival.
Keep a lookout, more details coming soon!👀😊
My Digital Painting Process Revealed
Enjoy a 15 minute dive into my digital painting process, walking you through my set up and a few other insights along the way!
Trying something a little new today.
I've been in the habit of showing sped up time-lapses to music a lot recently and thought I'd slow down the pace and talk you through a few aspects of my painting process, whilst beginning a new toy inspired narrative painting.
So here we are a 15 minute dive into painting digitally, my set up, some of the challenges I've faced, my use of vintage toys and a few other random digressions.
It's kinda of a mini visual podcast - hope you enjoy!
Any questions do let me know!
My First Corgi Painting
A new work in progress - watch a quick glimpse of the action! A happy dive into the world of Corgi toy cars, James Bond Style!
Getting stuck into a new painting of a 1960s Corgi James Bond Aston Martin DB5 (no.261)
Complete with bond, baddie, ejector seat and various other little treats of Corgi Engineering.
A couple of Fun Fact
It was based on the film Goldfinger and going 'gold' was apparently a marketing decision - it's a silver Aston Martin that features in the film!
Having painted many a Dinky toy car this is my very first Corgi!
Looking forward to seeing how it'll turn out!
